So, there you are. You stand near your faction's favorite commerce hub (http://www.wow.com/tag/stormwind). You're hawking your enchanting skills over the Trade channel, doing your very best to get pick up a few customers in between rapid fire Saurfang (http://www.wow.com/2008/08/28/know-your-lore-high-overlord-saurfang/) jokes and not-so-sly murloc references. Then, finally you see these words: "LF Enchanter (http://www.wow.com/tag/enchanting) for Greater Assault (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44484), have mats. Will tip."
You drop the person a quick whisper, group up to make it a little easier to find them, and then enchant their bracers with that sweet, sweet attack power. They thank you and place the tip in a trade window . . . 2 gold. Before you can even blink, the person breaks group, and logs out. It could be worse -- sometimes, you feel like you're lucky to get even 1 gold for your time.
Especially with the Dungeon Finder (http://www.wow.com/tag/dungeon-finder) making gathering enchanting materials easier for everyone, craftsmen are finding themselves struggling to earn cash via the old tipping method. After all, enchanters are no longer the single-flow hub of getting enchanting reagents. And while enchanters are the long-traditional tipped craftsmen, Jewelcrafters, Inscription practitioners, and just about all professions are in the same boat.
How do you get tips? How do you handle the tips? What goes into a tip? Let's take a look behind the jump and start breaking down the ancient art of supplying tips.Continue reading Insider Trader: Just the tip (http://www.wow.com/2010/02/15/insider-trader-just-the-tip/)
